Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, is an
ionized or energized gas with an equal number of positive and
negative charges. The gas plasma is widely used for inactivation of a
wide range of microorganisms present on surgical/medical instruments.
Plasma sterilizers are medical devices employed for decontamination
of surgical/medical instruments used during surgical and other
medical procedures. Different types of gases such as oxygen,
nitrogen, hydrogen peroxide, helium, and neon are used as a source of
plasma. Different plasma production methods are applied for
elimination or inactivation of microorganisms. Plasma sterilization
can be performed either at a low temperature or at a high
temperature, depending on the requirement. Plasma sterilization
facilitates the sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10–6 and this
method offers high material and functional capability. Plasma
sterilization provides several advantages over traditional
sterilization methods, as it is a safe, non-toxic, time-saving, more
rapid, energy efficient, non-thermal method. It does not leave any
chemical residues on instruments. Thus, it serves as an alternative
for traditional sterilization methods such as autoclaving, gamma ray,
electron beam, dry heating, and chemical method.
The demand for plasma sterilizers is anticipated to be greatly
influenced by their value-added advantages and limitations of
conventional sterilization methods. The gas plasma sterilization
using hydrogen peroxide facilitates sterilization at a lower
temperature, which is likely to boost the demand for hydrogen
peroxide plasma sterilizers for thermo-sensitive materials during the
forecast period. Also, increasing use of low-temperature gas plasma
sterilizers in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers and rising
demand for alternative sterilization techniques for
temperature-sensitive materials are factors anticipated to drive the
plasma sterilizers market in the next few years. Moreover, increase
in the number of hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers in
developing countries is projected to augment the plasma sterilizers
market in the near future. However, inability to process liquids,
powders, strong absorbers; inability to penetrate deeply into
long-lumen medical devices; and small chamber size are some of the
limitations of plasma sterilizers. These limitations are likely to
hamper the demand for gas plasma sterilizers during the forecast
period.
The global plasma sterilizers market can be broadly segmented based
on temperature, source gas, and geography. Based on temperature, the
market has been further segmented into low-temperature plasma
sterilizers and high-temperature plasma sterilizers. Low-temperature
plasma sterilizers are used in surface modification, sterilization,
and decontamination applications. Low-temperature plasmas are
produced under deep-vacuum (low-pressure) conditions. The
low-temperature plasma sterilizers segment is projected to account
for a leading market share by 2025. Based on source of gas, the
plasma sterilizers market has been segmented into oxygen gas,
nitrogen gas, hydrogen peroxide gas, and other inert gases. The
hydrogen peroxide gas is most commonly used for sterilization of
temperature-sensitive equipment. The hydrogen peroxide gas segment is
projected to dominate the market between 2017 and 2025.
Low-temperature plasma sterilizers that utilize hydrogen peroxide are
compatible with more than 95% of medical devices and materials.

Based on geography, the global plasma sterilizers market can be
segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America,
and Middle East & Africa. North America and Europe are
anticipated to dominate the global plasma sterilizers market during
the forecast period, owing to well-established health care
infrastructure and early adoption of new sterilization technologies
in these regions. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand
at the maximum growth rate during the forecast period, primarily due
to rapid expansion of health care infrastructure in countries such as
India, China, South Korea, and Malaysia; increase in the number of
multinational hospital chains; and rise in the demand for
low-temperature plasma sterilizers for temperature-sensitive medical
devices and instruments in the region. The market in Latin America
and Middle East & Africa is likely to expand at a moderate growth
rate during the forecast period.
Key players operating in the global plasma sterilizers market are
STERIS plc, SciCan Ltd., RENOSEM Co. Ltd., Johnson & Johnson,
BIONICS SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGIES (P) LTD., BIOBASE Group, CISA
production srl, Tuttnauer, H.W. Andersen Products Ltd., and
Stericool.
